I'm talking about things that can be done to the gun itself, not just finding the right load that the gun likes.



Slug your barrel and cylinder throats. If anything, you want the throats to be slightly larger (.001") than the bore. My Bisley 45 had throats that measured .4505, same as the bore. I couldn't push a bullet through them without a hammer. Shot terrible. I honed the throats so that a 250 XTP (.4515") would go through with little to no effort and what a difference that made.

Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.
